can I pick anyone's brains?

[David Collier]

As it happens I already have loads of bash script to extract the
addresses, masks and gateways from the output of ifconfig, route and
resolv.conf - I have to put things back tidily at the end of a gprs
session, and on dhcp fail, for instance.

what I don't have is the code to say "is this address in that addr/mask
range"

It's not a huge task. I'd just rather use anything ready-built that is
provided.
